Ah, Monday, scourge of the week! Thank goodness we have the "This or That: Trends" Fashion Challenge to stimulate our sluggish brains! I did Megan and Keely's "This or That" challenge last year in October as well (click here to see all my outfits from then). Thanks for doing this, ladies!

Today's "This or That" is solid brights or bold print. Because I never say no to a challenge, I did both.

This is the first wear this month of this black dress, last worn here in May 2011 (yikes) with the exact same tights and shoes! Hey, when you have a good outfit, it's okay to repeat it! I got a lot of "Woo!" reactions to the pink tights, including one coworker who accused me of cheating on my neutrals month. Accessories don't count, Gord!

I've had this dress since I first lost weight 5 years ago. I figured I needed a good plain black dress, so I bought it off the sale rack at the local Esprit store (now sadly gone...boo) for around $40. Thing is: I hardly ever wear a basic black dress. I put it in the June capsule at the last minute because I needed a black bottom for all the tops I'd picked out.

This is a great take on the bright trend! I love the pop of color it adds to the outfit. And that cardigan is wonderful. Love your blog and can't wait to see what else you put together for the Fashion Challenge!

Bright pink tights for the WIN! Looks great. You may be wooing me over to the world of animal prints. They aren't something I've liked in the past (probably something to do with my late Mother-in-law) but you show how fabulous they can be.

I love that you did both! Those pink tights are super hot! Love them! And I love your awesome cardigan. Your outfits are the ones I look forward to the most during these challenge weeks and you did not disappoint! :)

Comments are so incredibly special, and I love them and hug them and treasure them forever. Please feel free to tell me what you think! I try to respond to every one, so if you want to know what I said, tick that "Notify me" box and it'll ping your email!
